%make_install is just a wrapper to one single common case of
"make install".
Pointing to it is not helpful, when investigating packaging issues (It
obscures commands) nor is it helpful to enforce it in reviews, because there
are many cases it does not work
IMO (with my FPC hat on) %make_install and %make_build should be dropped and
burried once and for all times.

It's helpful when local build environments use testable versions of
"make". It allows the macro to be published and used consistently
across many packages.
